| | today, i am graduating with an bachelors of music degree in vocal
performance from a four-year liberal arts institution. wow.
i know i don't blog often, but i felt like i couldn't let this day get
away without saying something before it starts. i have been
dreading and waiting for this day for four years. i can't wait to
say that i've earned my degree, but i also don't want to say it's
over. the last four years here have changed my life in every way
possible. my relationships have changed drastically, and so have
i. did i get everything out of this experience i wanted?
no. did i enjoy every minute of it and look back on nothing with
regret? without question. the good lord works in mysterious
ways, as the song goes. it's definitely been true of all our
lives. not everything has been good, but so much has. me
staying here for the next year has made it hard to come to terms with
the fact that most of the friends in my class aren't. they're
moving back to the city to work, or leaving to state for grad
schools. and i'm here, albeit with a few friends, and all the
people left at school that i love. but everything is going to
change come june, and i'm sure when august rolls around i'm going to
wish i was getting ready for school again. but, one step at a
time. for now, i cannot wait for two hours from now, when i am
sitting among so many people i care about, taking that next step in our
lives, truly just beginning them. that's what this day is.
not an ending...a beginning.
